The table is the Steam global stat page, not a translated guide. A popular achievement guide renames several of them. I kept Steam’s spelling, including THE Jack of All Trades. On 7 Nov 2026 the most common was Shell-tered at 54.9% and the rarest was THE Jack of All Trades at 0.3%. Twelve of the set are “rescue this specialist”. The rest are story, survival, building and collection.
The same guide says a normal run can clear about 99% in 15 hours, and the last achievement wants something like 647,000 distance and 1,580 days. I label that as one author’s route. Lone Wolf is survive 20 days with a single drifter, and it once crashed the game when only one person was left; 1.0.0f1 says that crash was fixed. No Drifter Left Behind is a clear with nobody dead. Accidentally Vegan is 20 days of seaweed salad only. None of these four get a separate page. The rate column is the whole reason to keep them together.

Blank cells mean no public source was found. They are not estimates. Checked 2026-11-07.
Status counts source families for the row, rather than confirmations of every field. Expand it for provenance. The wiki and its derivative codex count as one family. Cost sorting compares the written material lists alphabetically; unknown values stay last in either order.
